The Beatles White Album in Mono - Classic Double Album to Be Released in Mono in US For the 1st Time

The Beatles White Album in Mono - Classic Double Album to Be Released in Mono in US For the First Time by Jackson Weinheimer

My Favorite Album Of All Time

The White Album is my favorite album ever (by The Beatles or anyone else). I love it because of all of the different styles of music on it. I love it because of all of the brilliant songs. I love it because of it's imperfections ("Don't Pass Me By" comes to mind). And yes, I love "Revolution #9."

The Last Beatles Album Mixed In Mono

For most of The Beatles career mono was the standard and the stereo mix was something that was done as an afterthought. The band (and the producers and engineers) worked to get the mono mix just perfect and then would throw together the stereo mix rather quickly, sometimes in a very experimental fashion (as stereo was still very new, people were trying things out to see what worked). But by 1968 mono was getting phased out and The White Album was The Beatles final album mixed in mono.

Never Released In The US In Mono

In the US mono had already been phased out and so only the stereo mix of the The White Album was released in the US while in the UK both the mono and stereo versions were released.

Mono Mixes On CD For The First Time

On 9/9/9 (a cool reference to "Revolution #9") the original mono mixes of The Beatles first 10 studio albums (through The White Album) will be released on mono on CD for the first time.

The White Album is the only one of those 10 albums that was never released in mono on vinyl in the US so it will really be the first release of this mix in the US ever (on any format.) For those of us who think this is the greatest album of all time (and I think there's quite a few of us!) it's very exciting to finally get to hear this mix.

The White Album in mono will not be available for individual purchase, instead it will be included as one of the 10 Beatles albums (all with original mono mixes) in the Beatles Mono Box Set.
